There’s no actual pole at the North Pole. It’s cold there, with lots of ice and snow. If the ice melts, a pole stuck in the ice might sink into the water. What if you wanted to put a real pole at the North Pole? Think like an inventor! How do you make sure the pole doesn’t sink? How do you make sure it stays in the same place and doesn’t move? Draw or describe your invention.
